Like Christianity, the Islam was claiming to be a universal religion. The conquest of the Moors reached its high-water mark at Tours.
“Crusade” has the same negative meaning in the Islamic world that “jihad” has in the West, and became a synonym for the “holy wars” of Christianity.
The fear of being enslaved by the Ottomans was one traumatic part of life in early modern Europe. The sultan's armies had long seemed invincible.
At the end of the 19th century, 80 percent of Muslims lived in colonies of European powers. But this dominance did not go unchallenged.
This episode describes the roots of the modern “jihadism” and shows its origins in the political history of the Middle East since 1945.
